It wouldn't shock me at all if Yeldon ends up having a pretty good game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 6 minutes ago, NJKBillsfan said: The major negative about Yeldon is he tends to fumble the ball a lot. There might be a little recency bias with him given his Titans game fumble with us driving. Seven fumbles on 677 touches in his NFL career isn't terrible. It was a major problem for him coming out of college though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 The ball is going to be cold and slick on Saturday night. Everyone is at risk of fumbling... not just Yeldon. Everyone on both teams is a fumble waiting to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seven fumbles on 677 touches in his NFL career isn't terrible. It was a major problem for him coming out of college though. The funny thing is it was a pre-season game where he fumbled twice that landed him in McDermott's dog house. I really can't believe he is still on the team since he rarely sees the field. One thing McDermott can't stand is a fumbler. Ask Moss about that during the SF game. Edited January 14, 2021 by Beast 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BornAgainBillsFan Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 I know it's cheating, but I hope they activate both. And maybe Gilliam can play some FB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 2 hours ago, SectionC3 said: I think we'll see Wiliams brought up as insurance against Singletary/Yeldon going down for a COVID reason the night before or the day of the game. Yeldon was that guy (for Singletary/Moss before), but with Moss out there's no such safety net. So we see Williams elevated and then inactive on Saturday. *And by "elevated" I mean that Williams will be one of the two PS players added to make "55" this week. I vaguely recall a fumble that was launched into the air against NE in the home game last year. That was more or less the end of Yeldon's shot to be a primary ballcarrier here. Maybe Stills or Dane Jackson as the other? I really liked a lot of what Jackson has done this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Though I recognize that was late in a game when the Fins were already beaten down.) But McDermott will likely go with the guy better at blitz pickups. Probably Yeldon. That's why I'd like to see Williams added. Remember the Steelers game, when Moss and the Bills ran over seven minutes off the clock in the fourth quarter? I can see Williams doing that to Baltimore, just as he did against Miami. Maybe worth a spot in the lineup only for that possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna go with potentially Darron Lee. Stills seems less likely to me, unless something is wrong with Brown/McKenzie and they want someone with speed to run jet sweep/pop pass here and there. Speed at LB seems much more important to me in this case if we approach Jackson like we did last year. I can see us sitting Andre White, dressing Dodson in his place (ST takes a back seat here), and going either with Lee or maybe even Antonio Williams (less likely) in place of Gilliam (ST is really taking a back seat in that event). Bates probably could fill the TE3 role, especially if they're planning on running 4 wide much of the game. I suppose if the gameplay is really receiver heavy we might see Stills just so an injury to a WR doesn't knock us out of the game. But I kind of wonder if we're going to see Lee as a counter to Jackson. 6 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: I only remember one since he’s been here (last year vs pats) what are the others? He barely plays. Did he fumble this year? The Pats fumble, IIRC, was pretty bad. He kind of got flipped and the ball launched from his arm. I doubt McD trusts him.

I think I erased that entire game from memory. so he’s lost one fumble in 2 years in limited touches. I wouldnt categorize that as he fumbles “a lot”.
